But when asked which former Tottenham p✅layer he would put in the current team, Maddison diﷺd not opt for Kane.

Instead, he suggested that he would love to get to play al🧜ongside one of the greatest talents England𝔉 has ever produced.

“I think the first one I’d probably have to say is Gazza, just because he was my dad’s favourite player growing up and I꧙ used to watch clips of him purely because my dad loved the way he played,” .

“Obviously, I got the pleasure of meeti♕nꦇg him at the last England camp, which was very surreal, kind of a pinch me moment. I’d probably bring Gazza back in and have him in midfield with me.”

Current Tottenham side have opportunity to write their name in folklore

There is absolutely no question that Paul Gascoigne playing in an Ange Postecoglou side would be unbelievable to watch. Few midfielders have had the natural talent that Gascoigne had. And it was at Spurs where he played hiꦡs best football.

Maddison’s task is to try and write his name into To🦩ttenham folklore during his time with the club. He is definitely off to a brilliant start, scoring three goals💦 and providing five assists in the Premier League.

In fact, there is an argument that Mad🌳dison has been the best player in the Premier League so far this season.

Obviously, he has a long, long way to go before he is held in the same esteem as ☂Gascoigne. But Maddison is definitඣely one of the most exciting players in the division right now.

He has been a game-changing signing for Tottenham. And Spurs now have an amazing op🎀portunity ꦐto achieve something special with Ange Postecoglou at the helm.

Certainly, there seems to be a good chance that future Tottenham players will be talking abou💖t their admiration for Maddison some day.
